Shiraki Chiyo

"Akibastar Crystal Power, Switch on! Pretty Idol of love and music! I'm Sashihara Rino the 11th!"

- Sasshi's first introduction as successor

Chiyo Shiraki (白木 千代) is a member of AKB0048's Team K and one of AKB0048's current successors. She's known as Sashihara Rino the 11th (11代目指原莉乃).

Rino is also and commonly known as Sasshi (さっしー), Sashiko (さしこ) and WhiteGhost. She's an anime and manga otaku and WOTA, generally being a huge Magical Girl fan. In the internet, she's constantly using the username WhiteGhost referring her appearance. She's known for being quite lazy, being in Team K without wanting it and having a low stamina. However, she's also known for being funny and variety-orientated.

Appearance
Sasshi is quite known for her appearance. She has shoulder length, smooth hair which is dyed into the colour white. Her eyes are silver and she has some not really visible heart-shaped light reflections in them. As well, another star-like reflection is visible. Her skin is very pale. Her hair is dyed and her eyes are using contacts. Her natural hair color is a light brown hue and her eyes are actually turquoise.

Sasshi always wears white clothes. She believes that she doesn’t look good in other colors. Due to this, she’s mostly never seen with clothes with special pattern. Usually, she’s wearing her hair down. It doesn’t seem that she’s taking much care on her hair as the dying isn’t very good for her hair.

While the auditions for the 153rd Generation, she had purple hair. This was because Miyagi shot her while playing paintball. After the audition, she quickly changed her hair color back.

After succeeding, it's notable that she sometimes doesn't wear color contacts all the time. However, due to her bad eye sight (which she constantly compares to a bat), she likely still wears contacts to correct it. Sometimes, she still wears silver-colored contacts, out of habit or because she thinks that it fits better. However, on official images, she never wears them.

Personality
In different to her stamina, Sasshi's an outgoing and positive-thinking girl. She tends to comment things with sarcasm. In the beginning, Sasshi appeard rather cold towards other which changed quickly when she joined AKB0048. She tends to dream a bit about anime and manga - especially about Magical Girl. Sasshi adores them and wants to be like them. Sasshi tends to think a bit too realistic, even though she has no problems with not-saying it. Due to this, she might appear arrogant. As well, she tends to lose attention of her surrounding whenever being part of an interessting situation.

Sasshi spends almost her full free time with anime, manga, video games and the internet. She isn't interested at sport at all and in the past years, she didn't do anything into this direction, causing her body to be very weak. She's quite good in changing her voice, even thought she isn't a great singer.

Sasshi is generally known to be very lazy and not a friend of fast songs. Thus, she holds a great dislike towards the fact that she's member of Team K. Ironically, she is a front girl in the team and even centered the first original song of the team. Her mind hasn't changed though and she constantly tries to get a transfer to Team A. As well, Sasshi doesn't consider people as traitor in the regular sense but when they don't tell (or agree with) her which she would want to know/them to agree. Unlike other members, emotional performances don't improve her radiance a lot. Performing in a Magical Girl costume or similar is a bigger impact.

History
Sasshi never left Akibastar as she grew there up. Already as children, she loved anime and manga. She always dreamed about being a magical by herself. In the third year of elementary school, Sasshi had started spending her full free time with this and lost her friends who weren't interested in that anymore. With the time, Sasshi developted plans which allowed her to stay home and learn there. She used a webcam to follow the lessons even though she was able to learn more as she wasn't distracted by others. This also caused her low stamina.

With 14, her parents started believing that this couldn't turn out good for Sasshi and they wanted her to live regularly. But they needed a reason. As both of her parents were active WOTAs and knew that Sasshi liked 0048 too, they introduced her the idea of auditioning. Sasshi did so because she believed her chances to join to be at zero. She passed the first round.
